Investment philosophy

Girik Capital's philosophy is inspired by William O'Neil's CANSLIM methodology: invest in leading, high-quality, high-growth businesses run by honest and capable management teams. The process is a five-step framework — (1) Automated Screening: identify leading stocks in leading industries using relative price strength, industry strength, and earnings acceleration; (2) Establishing Leadership: product/service leadership, ability to scale, management track record, governance; (3) Fundamental Research: superior return ratios, efficient capital use, healthy free cash flows, low-to-no debt, and governance checks; (4) Valuation: value-in-growth approach ('expensive in the short run but cheap in the long run') with margin of safety assessment; (5) Risk Management: weekly portfolio reviews, eliminating losers, riding winners until earnings growth decelerates.
